Would it be decent as a live mono drum overhead, or would the cymbals be overly harsh? Would it be better or worse than a single MXL 603?
 
the 20 series is bright, but so is the 603.
probably just about the same really, let us know.
 
I would not describe the 2020 that I own as a bright mic. On the contrary, mine's a little dark, at least on vocals. I would not be surprised if it did have a harsh top end response as a drum overhead, however. I use a pair of AT4041's for drum overheads and I get a very clean and accurate sound on the top end.
